WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: Buena Vista Hall, LLC, v. City of Milwaukee, et al.

Case No.: 2017AP1943

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Liquor License Revocation – Judicial Review – Court error

Upon a recommendation from the City of Milwaukee Licenses Committee (Licenses Committee), the City of Milwaukee Common Council (Common Council) denied an application for a liquor license that had been submitted by Buena Vista Hall, LLC (Buena Vista). Buena Vista sought judicial review of the Common Council’s decision, which the circuit court affirmed. On appeal, Buena Vista argues the circuit court erred by: (1) concluding Buena Vista was not entitled to a writ of mandamus; (2) denying Buena Vista’s motion to expand the scope of review; and (3) affirming the Common Council’s decision on certiorari review. We reject each of these arguments and affirm.
